Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and if you’re looking for a way to mark the day and celebrate your love for your partner, family, or friends, then a homemade craft is one of the best options.
This is a great group activity so if you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day craft to entertain your entire family or your students, this might be the one.
The garland is made from paper hearts cut from a variety of differently colored paper.
Each heart has a different message written on it and then all of the hearts are strung together on baker’s twine.
Cupid and his bow and arrow are a common Valentine’s Day image and this craft gives you step-by-step instructions on how to make your own arrows and quiver.
The arrow tips are made from felt so they’re completely safe. The quiver is just a mailing tube wrapped in wrapping paper and once the arrows are assembled, you can attach love notes or date ideas.
If you’re looking for a homemade gift to give a loved one for Valentine’s Day and think they deserve a little pampering, then a bath bomb is an ideal gift.
You will need a heart-shaped mold to get your bath bombs into the right shape.
The bombs themselves are made from baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, coconut oil, and essential oils with a few drops of food coloring to get that lovely pink color.
Real flowers may be beautiful but they don’t last that long. However, these origami heart flowers will last for virtually forever and the handmade touch shows how much you care.
Origami hearts are reasonably easy to make and as soon as you’ve got the hang of it you’ll have a full bouquet made in no time.
Use different colors for your hearts and you can use florist wire for the stems. To make the bouquet look even prettier, add some fake greenery.
This rose milk bath makes an ideal gift for someone that you care about on Valentine’s Day.
It doesn’t include any harsh chemicals and is made with common ingredients such as powdered milk, cornstarch, baking soda, and rose essential oils.
You can use as much or as little essential oils as you wish depending on your preference. You will need to let the bath marinate for 24 hours before gifting it.
This is a wonderful idea that can be infinitely customized to best suit you and your loved ones.
Instead of giving gifts or candy, why not give vouchers that your loved ones can redeem as and when they want to? The vouchers include things such as running errands, giving massages, or baking cookies.
The instructions give you a template that you can download and use but you can also make your own.
Give a Valentine’s themed gift that will last longer than just a day with this terrarium. They can be used as hanging decorations and look amazing.
The interior of the terrarium is decorated with pink and gold sand and mini white rocks for the Valentine’s theme and the plants are pretty pink air plants.
The glass terrariums used in the instructions are hanging ones, but you can easily substitute them for flat-bottomed terrariums that can sit on a desk or other flat surface instead if this is more convenient.
Decorate your front door or any flat vertical surface in your house with this Valentine wreath.
Wreaths are a common Christmas decoration but there’s no reason why you can’t make one for Valentine’s Day too.
You can buy or make a heart-shaped twig wreath form and then decorate it with fake red roses and some glue. This wreath is a beautiful way to decorate your home for Valentine’s Day.
There’s nothing better than sitting down after a long, stressful day with a good craft or hobby - right?
